What does it mean to study the Alps as a living laboratory of Earth processes? Last week, the Department of Earth Sciences at University of Geneva successfully held its new Alpine G3 Field Trip, led by Joël Ruch, Stéphanie Girardclos, Adrien Favillier, Lucas Vimpere, Marine Prieur, Nicolas Oestreicher, Jacob Hirschberg-Gautschi, Pascal Kindler, and Fabienne Godefroid. Over ten days in the field, students experienced an interdisciplinary journey that combined: - Geology and tectonics across hundreds of millions of years - Glaciology and geomorphology in today’s dynamic Alpine landscapes - Geobotany and ecosystem responses to changing environments - The study of natural hazards shaping valleys and communities From ancient marine sediments to modern glaciers, the trip offered a rare opportunity to study and understand the Alps as one interconnected story of time, tectonics, ice, and life.

A new documentary is now available showcasing the work of our research team in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, with some sneak peek into my work at the Centre Scientifique de Monaco from last year! Special thanks to SciencEscape for following our research and creating this piece of art, the people from Centre Scientifique de Monaco for their wisdom and laboratories, the UWI Seismic Research Center for their scientific collaboration, Richmond Vale Academy for their hospitality and support in the field, Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF and Faculty of Science | University of Geneva for funding and supporting the project. Just "Wow wow wow wow wow" - thank you all for your support! PS: No worries, the documentary is in english, but available with french subtitles.
Comment les squelettes de coraux 🪸 pourraient-ils enrichir notre compréhension des éruptions volcaniques tropicales 🌋? Ce documentaire 🎬 met en lumière la recherche fascinante du Prof. Tom Sheldrake et de son équipe (Frank Förster et James Vincent) du Department of Earth Sciences - UNIGE. Entre éruptions volcaniques, récifs coralliens et préservation des océans, découvrez les enjeux et défis qui façonnent l’avenir des Caraïbes. Les images ont été tournées en février 2024 à Saint-Vincent-et-les-Grenadines 🇻🇨 par SciencEscape. #science #volcan #corail Faculty of Science | University of Geneva
